    Man on top

    I've looked over several of the images you posted on the critique forum, and I think this stands out. A simple but strong image. The gesture of the person on top of the rock is a real celebration of achievement.

    Good colors, nice arrangement of elements, the mist is a great touch. I'd prefer something other than what looks like decaying lilypads in the foreground. But this is still well done.

    Has an interesting mood. The moon through the clouds, the silhouette of the tree and branches, you've done a great job of designing this image.

    I really like the thought behind the image. The lines from the rocks in the foreground converge where the wave crashes. Great idea. But the lighting is flat and it lessens the impact. I think it needs sunrise or sunset light to put shadows on the rocks and bring out their texture and patterns.

    I think the bird is too low in the frame, the lower wing is clipped. But the lighting is good, you've captured a good moment in time, and the fast shutter speed created a beautiful background from the water.

    It's a pretty scene with nice lighting. But I don't see a subject within the scene that serves as a center of focus. My eyes wander around without finding a spot to rest.
  1. Nice simple compositiion. Maybe cropped too tight on the right? I think some work with levels would have increased contrast, brought out some of the sunset colors, and still have been true to what you saw in the field.
  2. Hey Pnina,

     

    This was shot at 35mm, 1/20th @ f14. Looking back, I'm surprised I didn't try a wider angle version.

     

    I didn't do any cropping in the computer.

     

    Thanks for your comment and questions!

    On your bicycle scene in Vientiane, you write that your girlfriend says she didn't know where to rest her eyes. That's how I feel about this scene. There's no center of interest for me to rest my eyes.

    It's a nice scene, and I can see why you wanted to take the photo, but I don't see a focal point. I took a quick look at the other photos in this folder, and they all had a stronger sense of design.
